(it’s like having a deep breath inside a vacuum)

you have to practice your screaming
if nothing comes in, nothing can come out
there’s no release in these small choking sounds
this monotone drone, this quiet howl

you have to let off the pressure
maybe you need to punch a mirror or something
i know it’s not really up your alley, but
the sight of blood is just so dramatic

you have to work on your phrasing
you use so many metaphors, i don’t really know what you’re saying
get your story straight, no, no-one really needs
more than a syllable when asking you how you’ve been

you have to perfect your pr-nouns
make sense of all of this you and i and yours and mine
maybe let’s leave the confessional lyrics
to the people with nothing to hide

it’s so cute when you convince yourself
(you nothingness)
that you are capable of change
(you wasted breath)
take a minute, write a list of all your wishes
(you borrowed time)
watch the letters all rearrange
(forgotten debt)

you have to ease yourself into the routine, the little things
(the absent tears)
every day, make your coffee, take your pills and shave
(the screams suppressed)
weeks and months
peaks and troughs
the steady spiralling down
ever impatiently waiting for the flatline
(the slowest death)

in due time
my mind
may find
a way to make
the best of this
or else
instead

it doesn’t matter what you call it, it’s still the same
or what you call yourself – no, a name helps nothing
it doesn’t matter if you stay home or leave
you will always feel alone on a new year’s eve

and you can cry your eyes out
and you can write a sad song
and you can lie on the floor and wait for death to collect
and you can force your next breath until you think this will end
but it won’t ever stop
but it won’t ever stop
but it won’t ever stop
but it will never ever
